I think more needs to be done to study the health effects of EMFs and RFs especially in schools, homes, vehicles etc. At school students are constantly surrounded by wifi and personal devices including tablets and Bluetooth headphones. At home smart meters are replacing analog meters. I have to pay a monthly price to have my analog meter read. Cell phone frequencies need updated studies. Wired headphones are becoming obsolete. Even new vehicles are constantly searching for wifi signals. \n\nI support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3691","tags":["child-development","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"d6594a60c3982657b65f8dcfbda83ff54de5ac9f592e7c7b68f31624d484a953","slug":"child-development-comment-3691","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3691","body_sha256":"de5e85ee87033a52a8988d870359a36741836bdb034fedeae9d4be39ad0bb8df","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"research","topics":[{"id":"research","evidence":" monthly price to have my analog meter read.
